How Can You Tell if Volume Is Unusually Heavy or Light?

• Check the “Volume % Change” feature.

IBD’s unique “Volume % Change” tells you throughout the trading day if
volume is trending above or below average. You’ll see it when you pull up
a stock quote on Investors.com.
So as a stock breaks out, you’ll find the projected Volume % Change
based on the trading volume up to that point, letting you easily see if it’s
on track to hit the 40%–50% benchmark.

You‘ll find “Volume % Change” in Stock Checkup and the quotes pages
on Investors.com and in IBD Smart NYSE + Nasdaq Tables (Chapter 7).
